I agree with you on some of these points. All of those men should have been taken out by the UN. Our UN is totally impotent. One thing for sure is that we do not know what any president would have done under the circumstances. No other president has been attacked on our ground. To see hundreds of families lying in dirt with huge blisters on their bodies after a slow death and their homes were bulldozed simply because a man did not want them to become independent. The whole country was in mortal danger. You and I both know Sadam was attempting to make the world believe he had WMD. I for one believe they went to Lybia and were turned in as a goodwill jesture. That country makes no goodwill jestures without mandates. He still has his own. I also believe that Moslems believe it is their God's mandate to capture the world for Allah. What do you think?

Everyone has a slant on this one. Here's mine: You don't circumvent
international law to invade and occupy a country simply because you don't agree with their government. You don't concoct phony reasons to go to war. It is ridiculous and naive to believe that we actually invaded a sovereign nation to either stop the proliferation of WMDs or prevent further genocide or oust a ruthless tyrant or spread democracy. If that were so, we'd have attacked North Korea, invaded Sudan, and dethroned Papa Doc and Baby Doc Duvalier, not to mention Pinochet and Peron and Pol Pot. We'll probably never know the true reason why Bush and the Bobbleheads wanted to start a crusade in Iraq, except maybe as a preemptive to some future apocalyptic "clash of civilizations"...

You are very deceived. Did you get your education in our greedy country? There is so much money in the hands of so many of the Middle Eastern countries and still we give to all of them. You are pathetically mistaken. Hate is all you understand.

What a joke
Your own administration killed hundreds of thousands of people in Vietnam in an attempt to show its muscle, and boy did it get a kick in the groin by the Viet Kong.. But ofcourse it's not the same with Saddam... He never developed any nukes, he never threatened to use any means of mass destruction against any Western Super Power.. He never threatened any of the western countries... But ahh who will stop the idiot bush.. But ahh is he really an idiot? Using Iraqi oil money he has turned around the ailing U.S. economy.. Now the U.S. economy is growing steadily at the cost of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi deaths.. V.P Dick Chney's company Halliburton has stolen by hook AND by crook, most of the lucrative construction contracts, American Oil Gaints are having a field day in Iraq..
Now what the hell had 9/11 got to do with Iraq? Greedy SOB... That's what Mr. Bush is...
and stop being a cry baby about 9/11.. The world doesn't give a rat's *** about 9/11.. Anyway, your army has killed 200 times more people than the ones who died on 9/11.. So enjoy your red handed hands..

I will have to look for that one. Sadly, I haven't finished watching "Road to 9/11", but it is still on my machine.

Justi, great review!
I always miss the good documentaries. I am tired of people trying to re-write history. The Soviets had Sadam's Iraq as a client state for 30 years. He used French and Chinese military technology, and German companys helped him produce the nerve gas he used to slaughter the Kurds. Israel and the U.S. were his enemies for 30 years.

We ignored Saddam's genocide all through the nineteen eighties
because it suited Bush I's interests. Now they dig up atrocites that we sanctioned by our silence to support this asshole. And go sigh yourself Corbin.

Our government backed him to the hilt as long as he served our purposes.
Until 1990, when Neil Bush got himself in trouble because of the hideous Sand L scandals, and his father needed to get his son off the front pages, Saddam could do whatever he wanted without or saying boo to him.

They said those in the court room were cowed when he walked in they were still afraid of him. He is totally heartless.

I read about Saddam's childhood one time and it was dismaying. He was subjected to constant physical abuse and it made him heartless and barbaric. He should be executed, but he will probably spend the rest of his life in exile somewhere.

He does not deserve to be part of the human race
genocide is awful and sadly occurs in far to many places.

He does not. He took his boys to watch the tortures when they were little kids. They were even worse than he. It is incredible.

Justi, I did not watch it but I can pretty much imagine from other things I read and seen. He seems to have no heart or soul.
